- Abstract
BACKGROUND: The prevention of multiple pregnancies remains a major challenge in patients treated with ovarian stimulation prior to intrauterine insemination (IUI). The pilot study presented here investigates whether multiple pregnancies can be minimized by a microscopically confirmed aspiration of oocytes from supernumerary follicles immediately before intrauterine insemination and evaluates the benefit of concomitant excess oocyte cryopreservation for future use.
